Congratulations! If you\u2019re on this page, that means you have a new kitten in your life, or you\u2019re at least thinking about it. That also means finding the best kitten food for your new friend has probably already crossed your mind. You know we\u2019re here to help!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After plenty of TLC, the first thing your kitten is going to want to do is eat. Then they\u2019ll probably want to sleep, but let\u2019s focus on the eating part for our purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most likely, your kitten will be weaned from their mother by the time they get to you. Weaning takes place anywhere between 4-12 weeks depending on each kitten\u2019s circumstance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, what do you feed them next? We\u2019re here to help you decide what\u2019s best for your kitten\u2019s specific needs. Below, I\u2019ll break down the best wet and dry kitten foods that are currently on the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just like us, when cats are babies, they have different nutrition requirements than adults. Since kittens\u2019 tummies are so tiny, they can only eat small amounts. Because your kitten\u2019s meals are especially small, their food has to be exploding with nutrients to ensure that they have what\u2019s necessary to grow!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Three hours researching kitten nutrition, another three hours reading labels, and two more hours of reading reviews has helped us dig deep to truly find the best kitten food out there today. Don\u2019t forget the four hours it took to write the article itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
